Owingto completely unexpected and unforeseen circumstances, we
received your letter only yesterday and there fore could not reply
earlier. We have heard nothing from our delegate about the “agreed
place”. It would therefore be more expedient for you to take steps
directly to deliver the leaflet to the
committees.[1]Evidently one of our people has been taken. So far we are
not printing anything about the Belostok arrest. To speed up things inimportantmatters we would earnestly ask you to pass on all
informationthrough the comrade in Paris (Leiteisen), sending us (to the address: Herrn
Philipp Rögner. Cigarrenhandlung. Neue Gasse. 44. Nürnberg) either a
copy of the statements handed to the Paris comrade, or a brief summary.

R.S.D.L.P. committees and organisations decided to put out. It was based on
a draft drawn up by the Editorial Board ofIskra(seeKPSS v
rezolutsiyakh..., Part 1, 1954, pp. 28–31).
